Business case study:

You are Director of Sales for GTHF Worldwide auto company.

You have 2 Million vehicles that you can make in a given year.

50% of these vehicles make you a profit of $20000 / unit - a proven demand
25% of these vehicles make you a profit of $3000 / unit - a proven demand
20% of these vehicles make you a profit of $1000 / unit - a proven deman
5% of these are niche vehicles each of which may make you profit of $5000+; zero profit; or a loss of $3000. - the demand for these niche products may vary from year to year.

You have a VP, President, Board of Directors, and ultimately shareholders all assessing your results.

Now you are the President/CEO of the same company.

What do you think each emphasizes.
